Garden Maintenance Greenwich
Greenwich sits on a peninsula with water on both sides, so most gardens here are built into a slope rather than laid out flat.

Garden Maintenance on the Greenwich Peninsula
Greenwich garden maintenance covers a peninsula between the Lane Cove River and the harbour: blocks falling to water on both sides, established gardens, foreshore reserve below and stair access throughout. Fortnightly suits most properties.
Greenwich occupies the peninsula between the Lane Cove River and the main harbour, with a ridge running down the middle and land falling away on both sides.
Housing is largely established – Federation and interwar homes on decent blocks, with gardens that have had decades to settle into their terraces.
Foreshore reserve runs along much of the waterline below, which means many properties have a bush or reserve boundary as well as a garden to maintain.
Two Aspects, One Ridge
A peninsula with water on both sides gives properties quite different conditions depending on which side of the ridge they sit, and planting that thrives on one can struggle on the other.
Runoff on terraced blocks moves mulch downhill continuously, so beds need topping up at different rates rather than evenly across the garden.
Established planting here is mostly decades old and responds to moderate, species-timed pruning rather than periodic hard cutting.

Ridge Streets and Reserve Boundaries
Frontages on the ridge are conventional and visible, while the gardens behind them fall away and are often read from the water rather than the road.
Garden clippings plus reserve litter exceed what kerbside collection across the Lane Cove Council area takes, and much of it is hand-carried up, so removal on the day is included.
Foreshore boundaries need growth managed at every visit, since on a slope it closes paths and views faster than people expect.
Terraced Gardens, Reserve Edges and Established Planting
Terraced gardens are managed level by level with steps kept clear.
Established planting is pruned to form on species cycles rather than cut to a size.
Reserve-adjoining boundaries need growth managed continuously.
Re-terracing, retaining work and new planting are landscaping rather than maintenance.
Why Greenwich Gardens Are Quoted On Site
Which side of the ridge a property sits on, how far it falls and how much reserve boundary it carries all change the job, and none of it shows from an address.
Greenz Gardenscaping has operated since 2014 with qualified horticulturists, which matters on established planting where a wrong cut costs seasons.
Full green waste removal is included, we are public liability insured, and quotes are written after walking the property.
What our Clients Say
Common Questions Before You Call
What Greenwich homeowners ask most often.
Why does my garden behave differently from my friend's across the ridge?
Aspect. With water on both sides, the two faces of the peninsula get different sun and wind, and planting that thrives on one can struggle on the other.
Can you work on a block with a lot of stairs?
Yes, it is standard here. Access and carry distance are confirmed before the first visit.
Why do my upper beds keep thinning?
Runoff carries mulch downhill. Topping each level up at its own rate rather than evenly is what holds them.
Do you manage the foreshore boundary?
Yes, at every visit. On a slope, reserve growth closes paths and views quickly.
How often should a Greenwich garden be serviced?
Fortnightly suits most properties, with reserve-adjoining blocks benefiting from staying fortnightly year-round.
Do you take everything away?
Yes, every visit, including what is hand-carried up from the lower terraces.
How should established planting be pruned?
To form, on a species cycle. Decades-old planting cut hard once can take several seasons to recover.
What is landscaping rather than maintenance?
Re-terracing, retaining work and new planting. Maintenance keeps the existing garden in order.
